Life is (fill in the blank)

1/31/2018

Life is __________.

How would you complete this sentence? In other words, what word would you use to describe life?

Would you say something positive?

Here are some choice words for the positive category: Joyous. Giving. Friendly. Love. Expansive. Abundant.

Would you say something negative?

Here are some negative words you can choose: Cruel. Harsh. Unfair. Unjust. Restricting. Limited. Hard.

Or would you choose something neutral?

Some neutral words to consider: Impartial. Unbiased. Impersonal. Indifferent.

You see, you get to fill in the blank. No one else gets to tell you how to describe life. You get to choose.

Every moment. Every day.

Is the glass half-full today, or is it half-empty? You decide.

And here’s the beauty in all of this.

Whatever word you choose can be un-chosen. Or you can choose it again.

Life is __________.

What word are you choosing today?

Abundant Blessings and Namaste.

What dream is in your heart?

For this week's blog post, I thought I'd share a few words on video. I recorded this when I was out and about in Hollywood. (I even created my own subtitles!)

Click above to watch the video.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please feel free to share any comments and reactions.

Below is the text of what I shared on the video.

Hi there, this is Joselito Laudencia, Spiritual Life Coach at Abundant Good Coaching and Training.

Today I want to talk to you about dreams.

Here I am in front of the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California.

You see all the people here?

This place represents a coming together where people have dreamed of coming to this place.

Not only do you have the handprints and the footprints of stars who followed their dreams so that they could be here in this place...memorialized...

But then you also have all of these tourists from all over the country and world who, at some point, had this idea that they wanted to be here, to experience this part of our world.

And so, where is the dream in your heart?

It all starts with an idea and then cultivating that idea and then doing whatever it takes to follow through

So that idea and that dream can become a reality.

I invite you today to think about, where is the dream in your heart? Where is it that you’d like to be?

And then spend time taking care of that.

Thank you for listening. Peace and Blessings. Have a great day.

What wants to be let go and released in your life this year?

This week I began my 8-location tour in Los Angeles (and one webinar!) to lead my Visioning Your Best 2018 workshops. (If you’re interested in learning more about it, click here.)

One of the most powerful questions to ask yourself when you do the Visioning process is this:

In order for this vision to unfold, what must I release, and what am I being called to let go?

This might seem like a simple question, but if you really take time to think about this and then take action on this, the effect on your life is profound.

Here’s an example of what this might look like in your life.

Say you envision your life this year as eating healthier.

One of your first steps would be to consider what eating healthier looks like.

What kinds of food do you want to keep in your kitchen? What are some different ways to prepare the food that leans on the healthier side?

Once you get a good grasp of what eating healthier looks like in your household, you eventually have to ask the powerful question:

In order for this vision to unfold, what must I release, and what am I being called to let go?

If your refrigerator is currently filled with foods that don’t fit your highest idea of eating healthier, you won’t have a lot of space to bring in the foods that you do want.

What you do, then, is create space.

You take out (and perhaps give away) those things that no longer serve your vision.

You create room and spaciousness for those things in your life that do serve you.

And this process of releasing and letting go isn’t limited to physical things, like food, or unwanted clothes, or a messy desk drawer.

You can also release and let go old thoughts, beliefs, habits and patterns of behavior that aren’t in service to your highest vision.

These are usually the un-noticed and invisible things holding you back.
Some people call these your mental and emotional blocks.

When you create space for prioritizing those things that serve your highest vision, you signal to the Universe that you are taking a stand for living your life with joy and purpose.

Imagine waking up every morning and or going to bed at night with the feeling that you are living life on your terms, with joy and purpose.

What an awesome life you’d be living!

With this teaching in mind, let’s turn to your coaching assignment for the week:

What is one area of your life where you would like to see a shift towards more joy, more expansiveness, more aliveness or more grounding?

Example: One area of my life is my career. Even though I’ve enjoyed and been good at my job, I feel like I’m ready for something else. But I’m not sure what that is or what that looks like.
What is your highest vision for what this area of your life could look like?

Example: Even though I’m not sure what ultimate career or new job I’d like to pursue, I do know that I’d like to feel more freedom in it and feel like I’m making a difference in the world. I’d like to make enough money to pay my current expenses (maybe more than enough money!) and I’d like the time to enjoy my evenings and weekends without having to worry about work.
What are you called to let go and release, in order for your highest vision to come through?

Example: This is a harder question. Hmm…Well, I guess I could let go of the idea that starting a new career is impossible. Wow, that’s a big one. I know there are people who started new careers later in life. I mean, Julia Child didn’t start her career in cooking until she was in her 50’s! What else can I release? I guess I can let go of the belief that I have to figure this all out myself. There are probably some books or people I can talk with about this.

At the heart of this week’s spiritual teaching is this:

In order for your highest vision to reveal itself in and as your life, you must say No to some things in order to allow space for your bigger Yes that wants to come through.

Your highest vision is waiting to be expressed through you. Are you ready and willing to make space for this vision to come through?

Abundant Blessings and Namaste.
